How many guys use a powerglide behind a S/B mopar. This is over $500 , I can get one from a guy here local for a little less , To flip it for a little profit. Just wondering if there is a real market for this from Racers.

Usually used in light cars like 2000lbs. Super comp and competition eliminator and top sportsman cars. So I would say your market is limited. Most of those folks use dedicated race blocks and not blocks from passenger cars.

Ok this one requires the ATI aftermarket powerglide case. It’s a nice set up but the aftermarket cases were not available all last year and on back order. I have three of them and love them. I tried getting my son one for his car but like I said they weren’t available but they had a couple small block Mopar bellhousings so I bought one. Now he went another direction.

Not sure what you can get one for but all of these adapters were hard to get last year. I had one and sold it when I switched to an ATI aftermarket case. I can’t remember what I sold mine for but probably around 275.00-300.00. I have one more big block and small block adapter plates left to sell. The thing I didn’t like about this bellhousing is the pump bolts hold it on. Not a big issue but holding the bell and lining up the bolts to bolt it on is a little tricky.
 
I run JW in the wife's car just for safety sake. It fulfills scatter shield requirements even though she only runs 13's. But I run headrests, driveshaft loop, helmet, and shoulder harness belts for her and I'm not required any of it. But I do all my own work also. Fully size bridgeport and a slit saw make easy accurate work of it.

Lots of typical bracket car guys run glides. They are way more consistent than a 3 speed auto car. Just makes sense, only one shift. Have several small block Mopar guys at my track alone running them in bracket cars.
One car probably 3000 pounds, the other 2800. A 2000 pound car would be much rarer.
